Speaking to MCV, Codemasters CEO Frank Sagnier said that the firm had endured a challenging few years as it struggled with the move to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

“The transition to the new machines has not been easy and in the last couple of years we have focused on what we are good at, doubling down on racing and cutting the areas which we didn’t feel were strategic for us," he said. "We have ended up in fiscal year 2016 with our first operational profit in five years, which is a big achievement."

Codemasters has had a great few years and looks set to push on to even greater heights. MCV talks to CEO Frank Sagnier and long-serving producer Clive Moody about multi-platform opportunities, Onrush and its new F1 mobile title
